A: Dismissal is not a Discharge. They still owe you. I would suggest sending them a certified letter, demanding payment within 30 days. If they do not pay sue them. The 30 day part sounds like an error. Usually, there is a 90 day prejudice period, prohibiting refiling; however this will not stop a decent attorney from petitioning the court to shorten the period.
